I have repeatedly asked whodey about what kind of concrete proposals he has for solving the problems he sees. Very rarely does he go beyond clichés, platitudes and tiresome oneliners. Beyond whodey apparently doing nothing in the political arena (which in all honesty is quite acceptable - we all have our lives to live, no?), it's not even clear what his ...[text shortened]... rder, and something about gays and AIDS, but it's unclear where it's all supposed to lead to.
To suggest that I have ideas about how to collectively fix the US would make me a collectivist. No, no, I have no such intellectual mystical superpowers as do collectivists like Barak Obama that have magical one size fits all answers to the problems in life.
I am for greater representation by decentralizing power within government. I would much rather have my state have the purse strings than the bloated federal government where massive pots of money simply disappear without a trace. Government should be local, not distant and it should be more representative than it currently is. After all, this is why the US was founded in the first place. The Founding Fathers felt that they were not properly represented and the powers that ruled over them were distant and uncaring about their needs. And as we see with a Congressional approval rating of only 10% or so, and sitting presidents who end their two terms with abysmal approval ratings, the US is anything but representative of the populace.
So continue to mock me, I've got nothing but time on my hands as I watch these collectivists try to transform me, when really they should just leave me the hell alone so long as I'm a law abiding citizen. Tyranny may be the rule of law, but in the hearts of men we know freedom is a natural right given to us from God. For it is God who sets us free, and man that puts us in chains.
